Was never a wrestling fan, but this game was amazing in the arcade! It had such detailed sprites and so many moves!

It's a shame Rick Rude was omitted. I met him with my parents when I was 8 and he was the nicest guy.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

That is cool, I have never met him

[@damageinc.5458]

When I was in high school waiting tables at a Roadhouse, I had Diamond Dallas Page come in and he tipped me $120. I even told him my favorite wrestler's were Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior & Macho Man. Not him. Lol

God did I ever play the hell out of this one. Big Boss Man and the Boss Man Slam all day long. One of my best childhood memories was seeing Kerry Von Erich take the Ten Pounds a Gold from Flair at the Texas Stadium in '84. My granddad drove us 7 hours to see it, and it was just incredible.

I met Kerry Von Erich in '89. He let me hold the belt for the picture. The man's shoulders were so big, he could barely fit through a regular doorway. He was my favorite wrestler... miss those WCCW days.

Loved that Hulk Hogan intro. Its so cool to see you talk about wrestling. It blows my mind that you met Ric Flair. I got into watching wrestling through my dad too. He has so many fond memories of 1980s wrestling. Technos did a sensational job with this game. Everything about is perfect and has so much attention to detail. It really shows Japanese game designers have a massive adoration for wrestling. My dad absolutely loved this game and WrestleFest as a kid. Its mad to see how far wrestling games have come since the early 80s. Exceptional video Pat!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thank you very much. I have actually met him three times but this last one he was at a show only about 10 miles from me and I actually got to talk to him for a few minutes because he was asking about my situation with my arms and legs. He seemed like a really cool guy.

[@bluelouboyle6701]

Big Boss Man was the key to victory, he was the meta! Get your opponent close to the ropes, Irish whip followed by BBM slam, opponent gets up panting, stand behind him for auto Irish whip , slam, repeat. It would bypass the opponents "invincible mode" when he wants to tag.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

I've played as boss man but he was never one of my favorites. Thanks for the tip

[@darrickcato9499]

The Game Boy version of Superstars was closer to the arcade in a way. It still played similar to Wrestlemania Challlenge, but it had larger sprites and it plays better.

[@Gameboy-Unboxings]

Yup. The sprites are very similar to the arcade version. Very cool that they made a Gameboy version of it. I'd say that it's the best wrestling game on the Gameboy. Just about anything that was developed by Rare back then was a home run. Just a shame that it's SO bareboned... I also really wish that they had stuck with Rare for WWF Superstars 2 but it's not bad. I actually have a video of WWF Superstars & a few other Gameboy WWF games on my channel.

[@acerimmeh]

I would daydream about this game as a kid, lol. It was in my local fish and chip shop. About ten years ago I built a bar top MAME cabinet to play this game on. Two of my favourite moves are, 1. with Savage or Warrior, atomic drop an opponent so they bounce of the ropes(they must bounce off the ropes), then stand on the turnbuckle and wait for the opponent to stand dazed and panting, then hit any button and fly kick them half way across the ring lol. 2nd favourite was to throw the opponent out the ring and fast double tap both buttons simultaneously to lunge out of the ring landing on top of them 😁

[@bluetiger8716]

Well let me tell you something, brother! - This is an awesome documentary! 🤩 I remember playing WWF Superstars every morning at the local 7-11 while I waited for the school bus to arrive (playing as Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior).

My absolute favorite arcade game of all time and still the best wrestling game ever made, even better than Wrestlefest in my opinion. I played this a ton as a kid, and it was the first arcade game I ever beat (on 2 player co-op with my brother at the local bowling alley). A few years ago my brother bought and restored an original arcade cabinet and gave it to me for my birthday =), and now I proudly display it in my game room and we still play it all the time to this day. I could gush on about how much I love this game forever, but I'll just say thanks so much for the great video! Love your channel, Patman!!!

Westlemania the arcade game is one of the best wrestling arcade games, have you ever played it? It released in 1995 in the arcade, and was ported to numerous consoles at the time. Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo, Sega 32X, PC, Sony Playstation, Sega Saturn. The best home port being on the Sony Playstation, at the time I had it for Genesis, because I didn't get a Play Station until Christmas 1996 when I was 12.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Not only have I played the game also done the video on. I spent so many quarters on this game it was ridiculous. I love playing as Shawn Michaels because I knew all of his moves and combos.

[@wmiekka]

I personally like how the out of ring fighting is handled in Superstars more than Wrestlefest. It’s always frustrated me that you can’t just leave the ring in Wrestlefest unless someone is thrown out. Then when both wrestlers are back inside the game just jump cuts with them back in their starting position in the middle of the ring. It’s fun to try and clothesline your opponents right as they get back in the ring in Superstars. Also I wish they could have kept the ability to jump off the turnbuckle to the outside or the ability to run and perform a diving attack on your opponent when they are on the sides of the ring.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

I agree, that was a bit annoying

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

It was crazy because when the match started they were chanting steamboat sucks. By the time the match was over though, they were clearly on steamboat side. At the end of the match and steamboat goes up top for his cross body finisher, Ric flair ducks out of the way and I immediately jump out of my seat thinking that the match is over.

[@zachariahscott6648]

One tip that I could recall from this game was to stand behind your opponent's body, after you drop him on the canvas twice! Just wait for him to stand up, and he should be tired like he's out of breath, leaving him vulnerable to your 3rd attack. The best chance that I had in beating this game in the last match with Andre and Ted, was to lure Andre outside the ring, have him follow me back in the on Ted's side. Once he tags Ted, I move back to where my tag team partner is, knock down Ted only a couple times, tag my partner to climb in and throw Ted out the ring, then perform a jump attack from the top rope. After that, I climb back in the ring before Andre arrives, drop Ted on his butt once more, then tag again for my partner to elbow drop him and pin him. 😎 If Andre manages to haul himself to my side if the ring and stomp me off during the 3 count, I just repeat all those steps that I had mentioned earlier, but the next time that badly beaten Ted gets pinned, Andre won't run up and save him.😎

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Excellent, I never knew that thanks

[@ThunderFist1978]

You do get a count of 20 to get back in the ring in Japanese wrestling. Every wrestling game developed in Japan follows this rule also, like Pro Wrestling for the NES and Saturday Night Slam Masters, for example.

[@davidmreyes77]

It came out when the Mega Powers had split up but I still used them in the game. It was weird when it was being developed they included 6 playable characters and 4 of them were faces and only two were heels.

This review is AWESOME ! I would add to this that with the FoxM1 M1 sound-only emulator by Matt Kellner (KieferSkunk) you can listen to the entire 506 entries in the WWF Superstars ROM music and sound bytes However, on the "506" only 70 can be listen and some are duplicate. BUT there's alot of gems in those There's alot of sound and music NOT use in the actual game. Note that can also listen other game such as WWF Wrestlefest and even music from WWF Royal Rumble pinball machine and other game.
